Great presentation! I hope you are not discouraged by the fact that you get fewer views lately. As a subscriber I must say, that these kinds of videos are hard to digest, because they are educational and as a viewer you are learning. And learning isn't easy. I must admit that I usually skip few videos when you post them, because its not that kind of content/entertainment that you just click-and-watch. But I always return to them when I am at a right place. Looking forward on your new series on specific philosophers! Keep it up!
Nice. Been wanting to read Bacon firsthand after reading Adorno and Horkheimer on him in DoE. Seeing anticipations of Kantian moral law, and the logical positivist's views on language/philosophy.
@@Bringadingus it's not far fetched at all. These secret society types are into weird stuff. The streets of Washington DC are laid out as an upside down pentagram, remember. They're weirdos
@@Bringadingus lol, whatever dood. If you can't cater to an idea that conflicts with one you hold it makes you an idiot. You don't see it because you refuse to inspect it or criticize your own understanding. There's a pentagon in dc's street design, if you refuse to see that example of weirdness there's nothing i can do for you. Have fun knowing everything, genius. Lol
This was terrific, thanks. I'm curious about 5:08 where Bacon describes one of the forms of imposition (of idols on the mind) as "nature communicative". Any ideas of what this is?
this is assuming were are challenging are distortion of heat if we really had no idea what heat was we would have no examples of inctencies of heat what method would we use then
Very like the video, could I share the video to other site in China due to YB is bloced from accessing China if you don't mind. And I will attach the source of origin video site, waiting for your reply :)
Can't Bacon's conclusion by a process of elimination about heat be described as deduction? That's even the name given to an argument form in formal logic: P v Q, ~P, therefore Q is known as "deduction" Scientists deduce causes, but they induce effects. in the lab and on the test bench - that's induction. Deduction is working out what's happening, induction is making things happen. That's what makes science practical and useful, just as Bacon wanted. Induction is egineering, deduction is reverse engineering. Eddington deduced thermonuclear fusion in the sun, Teller induced it on Bikini Attoll. But there's no reason why induction and deduction can't revolve round each other round time wise, several experiments in the induction of magnetism might have led to the deduction of its causes, which once accomplished, led to improvements in its induction. Some will no doubt complain I've altered the meaning of the word "induction". But have I? Maybe Bacon's meaning is just an idol.
Very white. I would not doubt he was guilty of some kind of white supremacy, I mean other than the part that he sees tribes as being the error of human ways which tribes are symbolic of primitivism and although once upon a time all humans were primitive, most white ppl back then were mostly focusing on indigenous cultures (i.e. the reason why Francis Bacon brought up tribes in the first place) every time they brought up "primitivism." Today a lot of white ppl still do. (try to think of my comment as less of an annoying call out comment and more of a comment that offers us a chance to think of the errors of our own ways.)
This is the least significant comment I’ve ever seen. The moral uprightness of a man doesn’t influence the impact of his work. The observations made by Francis Bacon have contributed to the development of mankind. Whether your random accusations are true or not have nothing to do with his work. You seem to base reality off of a sense of oppression underlying every aspect of society. That’s true - the world today was built by exploitation of the majority of people before us, but it is also true that the world today is better than the world of the majority of history. History is grey, not black and white. Each invention of man has negative & positive impacts of particular people. Don’t understand the motivation of tying a video of a man’s contribution to the world to some oppression. That doesn’t constitute as a refutation to Bacon’s conclusions. Essentially, you said nothing but pointless complaints.
induction is good but easily manipulated - it can be corrupted. Deduction embraces fact since truth is still superior. An extenuated step for us, but most relevant to Bacon's Era. Deduction was most probably contextual for Aristotle as well; we do not know what tools they utilised at their disposal inaccessible to us today. We cannot say our evolutionary standards are better since the classical philosophers were obviously quite wise in their own right.

You've done a better job at explaining Bacon to me in 15 minutes then my Professor could in a 3 hour lecture thank you

Hi, man. Student of philosophy from Brazil here. Thanks for the channel.
The way you give examples makes me go mindblown! Thank youuuu
This is a great episode and a huge step up in production values, congrats.

Thanks for this video! I am reading about Bacon in Durant's The Story of Philosophy and I appreciate the additional info in your video.
Bacon, 16th century: "The rest they twist to fit that pattern in wonderful ways" [07:40]
any troubled soul, 2020: "Are we going in circles?"
Circe, circe
Helped me with my school assignment! Thanks!
Thank you for this channel. I highly appreciate your content
Thanks sir to refine my knowledge by your lecture I am so helpful to this video
I love that you almost malfunctioned when you said “he thought stars didn’t give off heat...🤔🤔” lol
Beautifully done 👌
Thank you for the thoughtful presentation.
I love the new format!
Bacon is one of the most practical philosophers of all time.
Surprised you hadn't covered bacon until now, but glad that you did, great video as usual.
What about Francis Bacon and a link to Shakespeare ? Many things looks like he was writen by him and we find in Shakespeare.
@@Bringadingus it's the same Francis Bacon and I've seen evidence of a geometric confession to as much in a book he published himself.
@@Bringadingus ua-cam.com/video/DrNPJgxzxZw/v-deo.html
This seemed rational
@@Bringadingus it's not far fetched at all. These secret society types are into weird stuff. The streets of Washington DC are laid out as an upside down pentagram, remember. They're weirdos
@@Bringadingus you don't believe in "secret" societies?! Lol
Lol

he means the idols of the marketplace, which mean the limits of human communication, the vagueness of language, etc.
You are amazing.
Love this!
thank you for making yt more productive place
Brilliant video...a very well 👍👍👍
This is a very different type of induction to the two I'm aware of. Interesting.
Great presentation
Very well done 👍
Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched 14:38
Once read that Thomas Jefferson named Francis Bacon as one of 3 of the greatest most influential men. Isaac Newton & John Lock being the other two.
Watched all of it again 14:57
Why r subtitles/ captions unavailable?
Please fix the issue.
thank you❤
Good luck with your work! :)
this is assuming were are challenging are distortion of heat if we really had no idea what heat was we would have no examples of inctencies of heat what method would we use then
Watched all of it 14:41
Great video
Could you please share a general reading list for your series of videos on enlightenment thinkers and modernity?
Was meant to post in the description. Have started collecting the reading list here: lewwaller.com/enlightenment-series
So, Descartes and Bacon are basically two different sides of the same skeptical and critical coin?
Fantastic! Also looks like young Michael Keaton.
Very like the video, could I share the video to other site in China due to YB is bloced from accessing China if you don't mind. And I will attach the source of origin video site, waiting for your reply :)
excellent. Thanks a lot.
This is one great channel! I am impressed with those videos of scientists of old. Where do you find them?
@01:45 - Wrong. He became a lawyer for money. His father does and left him poor.
He was always interested in philosophy.
Hey, that’s my dad’s favorite!
Not to take away from the video content but you look good shaved
No he is nooot, I like him with beard lmao
Francis bacon say education is acquisition of knowledge?

France is bacon. Kind of disappointed you didn't mention he was a Master Rosicrucian.
interesting
Everyone was born in a barn
Don't leave us hanging like that! :)
ancestor
David Humes problem of induction coming up......
"All the world is a stage "😜😜
👍
There is something hilarious about a scientific genius catching cold and dying from being... in the cold. I mean, who'd have thunk??
I’m here for the wrong Francis bacon.
1626
And this fuel cell will be the future👍
🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓
So funny, bacon missunderstood Aristotel
Very white. I would not doubt he was guilty of some kind of white supremacy, I mean other than the part that he sees tribes as being the error of human ways which tribes are symbolic of primitivism and although once upon a time all humans were primitive, most white ppl back then were mostly focusing on indigenous cultures (i.e. the reason why Francis Bacon brought up tribes in the first place) every time they brought up "primitivism."
